Warriors 3 - King Of Trios - Niel Jacoby

Panel 1: The Warriors 3 are getting out of a rather small car, a VW Beetle or something, small enough that Volstagg is straining to pop himself out of the driver's seat area, in a parking lot.

Caption: EASTON, PA

Fandral: WHEN YOU PROPOSED A ROAD TRIP, I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TO ASK WHERE TO.

Hogun: THIS HAD BETTER BE WORTH IT, VOLSTAGG.

Volstagg: OH, BUT IT IS, MY FELLOW FIGHTERS! FOR TODAY, WE PARTAKE IN THE GREATEST PASTIME A WARRIOR MAY HAVE!

Panel 2: Volstagg is bursting through the doors of the Easton Funplex with a massive wad of cash in one hand, and a Chikara staffer seated at a folding table is startled.

Volstagg: ENTRANCE KEEPER, HOW MUCH FOR 3 OF YOUR FINEST FRONT ROW SEATS?

Staffer: YOU-YOU'RE JUST IN LUCK, SIR. WE'VE GOT JUST 3 LEFT!

Panel 3: Volstagg, Hogun, and Fandral are sitting in their front row seats. Volstagg's folding chair is obviously straining to support him, and he is loaded down with a bevy of snacks. In the ring, we can see The Faces Of Pain(The Barbarian, Meng and The Warlord) and Team ROH(Nick Jackson, Matt Jackson, and Mike Bennett) facing off for their first round match. Hogun is clearly disinterested in the action, while Fandral is eyeing Maria, Mike Bennett's valet.

Hogun: FRANKLY, VOLSTAGG, I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU THOUGHT WE-

Panel 4: In the ring, Nick and Matt Jackson simultaneously superkick The Warlord, and we can see Hogun react in astonishment in the crowd.

SFX: SMAK!

Panel 5: Hogun is standing up, in a rage, as Fandral continues eyeing Maria. Volstagg is startled, but continues eating.

Hogun: THAT IS NOT HOW WARRIORS CONDUCT THEMSELVES! BOOOOOO! BOOOOOO! HISS AND BOOOOOO, GOOD SIR!

Fandral: IS THAT AN ILLEGAL FOREIGN OBJECT IN YOUR PANTS, FINE MAIDEN, OR ARE YOU SIMPLY THAT ENJOYED TO SEE MY BEAUTIFUL VISAGE?

(P.S. sorry this one went up a little late, I've been kind of busy as of late)

There is so much fertile comedy ground when these three are in the modern world. I also love the fact that wrestling has been brought back, and Hogun's reaction in the last panel is just choice. Fun page, Mr. J.

You wrote about wrestling Niel? How strange...;)I think you could cut the car panel and go straight to the three sitting at ringside. Would give you more room on the page (as this one would work well visually). Perhaps by starting the page on Panel 3, you could add more of the wrestling and the Warriors reactions.I like the dialogue. Sufficiently campy for a wrestling based strip. Good stuff.
